The detailed explanation of the present invention is described asfollows. The described preferred embodiments are presented for purposesof illustrations and descriptions, and they are not intended to limitthe scope of the present invention.

First Embodiment

A first embodiment of the present invention discloses an adaptor forconnecting with a connector of an HDMI cable assembly that links twodevices such as a game console and a display device through a fibercable. The adaptor comprises at least one processor for managing andenhancing functions for the HDMI cable assembly. The enhanced functionsinclude, but not limited to, customizing visible lighting, detectingvideo quality and resolution, enabling/disabling signal transmitting,parenteral control, enhancing video and audio quality and features (suchas 3D and VR), etc. The adaptor also comprises a wireless device, suchas WIFI or Bluetooth device, for communicating with a remote application(APP) on any wireless devices, such as a mobile phone or a tabletcomputer. In the real production phase, the adaptor can have a differentcombination of features as different models.

Please refer to FIG. 1A, which illustrates a perspective view 100A of acable assembly and an adaptor 104 that can connect with a connector 101of the cable assembly. The cable assembly can have two connectors, suchas standard HDMI connectors 101, 102, connected by an optical fibercable 103. The optical fiber cable 103 can include at least one firstfiber wire for transmitting data such as video data. The connector 101of the cable assembly includes an electrical-to-optical convertingcircuit for converting electrical signals to optical signals fortransmitting to the at least one first fiber wire of the optical fibercable 103. In one embodiment, the optical fiber cable 103 can include atleast one second fiber wire to transmit visible lights and the connector101 of the cable assembly can include LED(s) to emit visible lights tothe at least one second fiber wire of the optical fiber cable 103. EachLED can be an RGB LED for generating colorful lights.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the adaptor 104 has a first interface 104 a and asecond interface 104 b, wherein the first interface 104 a can beconnected to a first external device such as a video source device 200,such as a set top box or a game console, and the second interface 104 bcan be connected to the connector 101 of the cable assembly. The firstexternal device such as a video source device 200 can send video data toa display device 300, such as a television or a monitor, through theadaptor 104 and the cable assembly. The adaptor 104 includes at leastone circuit board such as a printed circuit board (PCB) 160, and aplurality of devices is disposed on the printed circuit board (PCB) 160to form a circuitry that includes a wireless device, such as WIFI/BT(Blue Tooth) wireless device 161 and at least one processor and memorydevices 163. The at least one processor is capable of communicate withan application (APP) running on a mobile device, such as a mobile phoneor a tablet computer, through a wireless connection 500 to performingoperations associated with the at least one first fiber wire of theoptical fiber cable 103 or the data received from the first externaldevice. For example, the adaptor can determine whether to transmit thevideo data received from the video source device 200 to the opticalfiber cable 103 or not, which means the adaptor can block certain videotransmission to the optical fiber cable 103 if certain conditions aremet. The adaptor can also perform some operations on the video datareceived from the video source device 200 to enhance or add features tothe video data so that the display device 300 for displaying 3D or VR(Virtual Reality) video can use the video data. Please note that thepresent invention is not limited to the implementations of thecircuitry. The at least one processor and memory devices 163 and thewireless device 161 can be integrated into a single IC or anycombination of the devices on the PCB board 160 can be integrated into asingle IC.

In one embodiment, the at least one processor is able to performdecoding the video signal for enabling parental control on whether thevideo can be transmitted to the optical fiber cable 103 or not. In oneembodiment, the at least one processor is able to enhance the videoquality or adding video frames to enhance features for playing 3D and VR(Virtual Reality) video. The APP running on the mobile phone can havefull control of the adaptor as well as the optical fiber cable 103.

In one embodiment, the circuitry can also include powermanagement IC(s) for performing power management for the cable assembly.

In one embodiment, when the connection from the video source device 200to the display device 300 is established, the optical fiber cable 103will light up, and in the meantime, the APP will show the working statusof the connection. The color of the light, time length and light patterncan be adjusted by controlling the LED(s) or RGB LED(s) in the connector101 of the cable assembly. For example, whenever the video source device200, such as a game console, starts to transmit video to the displaydevice 300, such as a TV, the optical fiber cable 103 will light upagain with different color, wherein the color can be different dependson the video resolution data rate (such as 4K or 8K), and the color canbe customized for each cable. Likewise, a user can turn on the APP onthe mobile device 400, and it will show the current video title beingplayed and its video data rate. The user can also use the APP to changethe default color to any different color for each video data rate, andthe coloring of the optical fiber cable 103 will change accordingly,wherein the time length and light pattern of the coloring of the opticalfiber cable 103 can be customized. Whenever the video stopstransmitting, the optical fiber cable 103 will stop the lighting and theAPP will show no data rate. On the APP, you can also check all of thehistorical data on which video being played and the video transfer rate,based on the hourly, daily, weekly even yearly.

In APP running on the mobile device 400, a user can also configure someadvanced features such as video enhancing and parental control, forexample, if user enables video enhancing to VR, the adaptor 104 willprocess the video signal to VR and transmit it to the TV, withoutchanging original video, and the basic video parameters, such asbrightness, contrast and hue, can be modified and enhanced. If the userenables parental control, any video containing contents over maturerating set will not be transmitted to the optical fiber cable 103 eventhe video source device 200 such as the game console is stilltransmitting the video. All those enhanced features can correspond to aspecific color lighting in the optical fiber cable 103 to indicate suchfeatures is enabled. The adaptor 104 can cease the video datatransmission as the user desired, even when the video source device 200such as the game console is still transmitting the video. It can beimplemented as copyright protected cable using the same function. Evenuser is not at home, through the remote APP, the user can monitorwhether the video is being transferred and which content is beingplayed, in real time, or any time later.
